MOBILE THERAPY vs HOME HEALTH THERAPY

8 Ways Home Health Can Help Your Budget

 

HOME HEALTH THERAPY

 

In order to qualify for home health care services, you must have a prescription for home health care and your physician must certify that you meet all 3 of the following criteria to be classified as "homebound":

 

1:  Because of illness or injury - need the aid of supportive devices such as crutches, canes, wheelchair, or walker; the use of special transportation; or the assistance of another person  in order to leave their place of residence. OR  Have a condition such that leaving his or her  home is medically contraindicated. 

2:  There must exist a normal inability to leave home

3:  Leaving home must require a considerable and taxing effort

 

The inability to leave home must be directly related to a recent illness/injury or chronic condition. It can not be due to patient choice, age, or lack of available transportation. The patient is allowed to leave their home as long as it is infrequent and relatively short in duration, such as attending weekly church service or going to the beauty/barber shop.

 

MOBILE THERAPY

 

To receive Mobile Therapy you DO NOT need to meet the above "homebound" requirements and you DO NOT need a prescription from your physician.  Mobile Therapy provides outpatient therapy in the privacy and comfort of your own home. There's no need to worry about finding transportation to a clinic and you'll receive uninterrupted one on one treatment sessions. After your therapist completes your evaluation, he/she will send a plan of care to your physician indicating your weaknesses/limitations and goals, as well as type, frequency, and duration of planned treatments.
